winch/solenoid

when i bought my landy it had a winch on but it doesnt work because 1 of the terminals has come out the solenoid.ive had it nearly a year and it hasnt been working all that time and didnt work for a bit before that im guessing.do you think the winch will still be ok.and also are all solenoids the same,been reading up on here but theres no part number on the one ive got or nething to tell what it is at all.aparently allbright are the 1s to have,looked on ebay and this came up,this looks like the 1 thats alredy on it.are they all like that? just need a bit ov advice or help on what i should do HEAVY DUTY WINCH SOLENOID offroad allbright equivalent recovery 4x4 | eBay

very similar to the one iv just got, it works, not tried it under load yet (thats tomorrow).

i replaced two of the metal can type ones with it.

where was yours from and how much was it.

ebat and about £30 cant remember seller though

Yeah you need a 400A solenoid for most smaller winches, about 30 quid delivered, not be best quality but last a few years, or buy a top money Albright that will last you a long time.

Most winches can be rebuilt to make like new again

If you buy off that seller make sure you pay by Paypal because he says "I will not accept responsibility for items lost in the post unless the Special Delivery option is used" which is bollocks, if it doesn't arrive it is down to him. Paying by Paypal makes it very easy to get a refund if it doesn't arrive.

Wiltshire Landyman gave me a couple, but my winch is broken .. pm me an address, Paypal £5 for postage ([email protected]) and I'll stick you one in the post, including a fitting instruction page I got with it.

You'll need to find appropriate screws for the connections, they look M4 or M4 size. I haven't cleaned it 'cos I used the other one, I dunno if it works but I assume it does 'cos the other one I got off him does ..

If he doesn't have the solenoid then I would take it off your hands.
